OVERVIEW

​

What is BondApp?

BondApp is an innovation in the mobile dating landscape. With today's mobile dating apps, fake profiles are a concern, and since chats are initiated online, there is no substance to the conversation. BondApp solves these problems! We use your phone's location services to provide you the ability to view other users on a map, within a limited 200-foot range. You can view a user's profile and "ping" them if interested. A ping is an invitation to connect. Once a connection (or "bond") is made, you can start chatting via the Chat Wheel. Since you can only view users within your range, you can verify a person of interest with your own eyes and initiate a real conversation instantly!

 

You might wonder, how can BondApp work if no one is near me? We got that covered with BondApp Hotspots! Hotspots are areas of user activity on the map. Go to one of these Hotspots so BondApp can do wonders.

 

BondApp enables interested individuals to break the ice with confidence!

DISCOVER (MAP)

​

How do I view users on the map?

Nearby users will automatically be shown on the map. Just make sure your status is set to online.

 

How do I view a user's profile?

To view a user's profile, tap on the user's icon on the map. This will first show a preview of the profile, which includes the user's profile picture and the ability to ping them. To see the user's full profile, which includes all their photos and details, simply tap on the profile picture.

 

How do I ping someone I am interested in?

You can ping someone directly from their profile.

 

How do I respond to a ping I receive?

You will be notified when receiving a ping from another user. You can either accept or ignore it.

 

How do I know the status of my interactions with other users?

You will know the status of an interaction with a user by simply looking at their icon on the map. If there is a solid red border around the icon, that user is pinging you. If there is a dotted green border around the icon, this means you have sent them a ping and are awaiting a response. If there is a solid green border around the icon, you have connected with the user. If there is no border around the icon, you have not yet interacted with them.

​

What are BondApp Hotspots?

BondApp Hotspots are areas of user activity on the map. 

​

How do I see the Hotspots?

If there are no users near you, or you simply want to see where the popular spots are, click on the globe icon to see the Hotspot view. This will show a heatmap of the Hotspots and the businesses (i.e. restaurants, lounges, clubs, bars, coffee shops) users are checked in to.

​

How do I check in to a location?

To check in to a location, select the "Check in" option from the map. This will show a list of nearby businesses. Tap the business you want to check in to.

​

How do I see where nearby users are checked in to?

You can see where nearby users are checked in to by viewing their profile.

​

How do I check out from a location?

To check out from a location, select the "Checked in to" option. From there select "Check out". You will also be checked out automatically if you go offline, or if you go away from the location.

 

CHATTING

 

How does chatting work on BondApp?

Another innovation BondApp brings is the concept of the Chat Wheel. When a connection (or bond) is established, either user can initiate the chat. Chats can be accessed on the Chat Wheel screen. You can scroll through the wheel to see all your active chats. To access a chat, simply tap on the icon of the user. User icons on the Chat Wheel with unread messages will have a solid red border.

 

How can I save a message that is important?

BondApp aims to replicate a real conversation, so messages automatically expire after being read. To save an important message, simply tap on the message. If a user sends you their phone number, we will automatically save it for you and ask if you'd like to save it to your contact list.

What are the BondApp premium features?

BondApp's premium features are the following:
